Privacy controversy over Path for iPhone, iPad should be a wake-up call - The Washingto... - 10 views

    Explain the issue with Path. Evaluate Apple's solution.  Should services such as Path take or hold our data? all feb 21 johnroy
  •  
    Explain the issue with Path. When you take apps by log in from your iOS device then it would take you personal information and put it into the Apple server. It does this without permission of the user. The reason why is doing this to locate the user where you are at and your friends. Evaluate Apple's solution. Their solution is just to add new feature so you would be aware that apps would take your private information and put into the main server apple server. When you're downloading or getting apps you need to approve that they get you privacy information. Should services such as Path take or hold our data? I believe that they shouldn't because it's hard to trust large companies. The information that they have could be sold to other person that interest about your privacy. Another possible solution is that the data that is stored could be hacked anytime and when this occurrence happens. The hacker can sell my privacy to someone or he directly knows where I live, what's my name and etc.

Twitter tired? Fatigued with Facebook? Try a new network - 11 views

  •  
    Would you try a new network? all feb 10 nat
  •  
    Personally I wouldn't try new networks, unless I have friends there. A lot of my friends are focused on Facebook, and I don't mind sharing my content with people I am friends with, as I usually decline requests from strangers, and are friends with people who I actually know or have mutual friends. However, I wouldn't mind giving Pinterest a go, as I think it sounds interesting, and also it sounds like Tumblr, which I like a lot, because we can share images with people with the same interest.
